Council signs pioneering PO deal

摘要

Hammersmith & Fulham LBC has become the first local authority in the country to sign a deal with the Post Office to allow residents to pay for council services at any branch in the UK. The local authority has signed a 'pan London framework agreement' with the Post Office, which will give other London boroughs the chance to opt in. 'Many residents are happy to interact with councils using websites, but many particularly older and more vulnerable residents are not,' said council leader, Cllr Nicholas Botterill. 'If more authorities sign up we could make council services more accessible than ever, while saving taxpayers a small fortune.'
